Our Travis is super friendly, a cyclist, a great bike mechanic, and a handsome guy with a lonnnnnnng beard. Saturday morning, 8 am, October 2nd, you can cycle with Travis to the Port Fest. The staging area for all interested people to cycle to the port is the downtown Promenade (Ocean Blvd. near Pine Avenue). Folks on bikes can enjoy a special cycling tour of interesting areas of the Port of Long Beach not usually seen by outsiders—that ride takes place at 8:00 am. People on bicycle who arrive at the Promenade later can nonetheless participate in escorted cycle rides to the Port Fest itself. Long Beach Cyclists will run a table at the Promenade Saturday morning, and will provide free bike valet at Port Fest (south of Queensway Bridge) all day long.
Cycle from the Promenade with Travis—8am Oct 2

The list of musicians is lonnnnnnnng! Click SAM to see who will perform. And, hey!, on the list, we find Jenny Stockdale’s name! Which, for us at Long Beach Cyclists, means a neat music event will be even greater!
(We know Jenny as a great friend, as a lover of cycling, as a talented musician, and as a skilled writer. AÂ teensy bit of our bias may also be due to the fact that she is a member of Long Beach Cyclists.)
Hint to up-and-coming musicians, future candidates for the presidency of the United States, and others who love cycling: Join Long Beach Cyclists! Small print: No guarantee that you’ll ever see your name in the lights… but if you join LBC, we’ll love you plenty!
